(if selected) and display the Ident or ALPHA
name of the caller.
Displaying the Callers Ident or name
Whenever your TX6200 receives its own
Selcall Ident, the words ‘CALL FROM’ will
appear on the display along with the callers
Selcall Ident or ALPHA name to inform you
of the identity of the person calling. To
switch between the Selcall Ident and the
ALPHA name briefly press the
CALL key
to enter the ‘Call To’ mode, then press the
Monitor key to toggle between Ident and
ALPHA modes.
The Selcall alert
When your TX6200 receives its Selcall
Ident, an alarm will sound in the speaker
to alert you to the call. Initially the alarm
will beep urgently at 2 beeps per second
for around 10 seconds. The alarm will then
stop, however the radio will remain in the
‘Call From’ mode with the callers Ident
or Alpha name displayed.
Cancelling the Selcall alert
Pressing just about any key on the
TX6200 will cancel the Selcall Alarm.
However, the following are the
recommended methods.
• If you want to Cancel the Alarm and
listen on the channel:
Briefly press the
QUIET
key. The alarm
will stop beeping and the channel will
remain open to any incoming signals.
• If you want to Cancel the Alarm
and talk on the channel:
Press the
PTT
switch and talk in
the usual way. The alarm will be
cancelled and the channel will be
open for normal communication.
• If you want to immediately return
the call:
Press and hold the
CALL
key for a
few seconds until the radio beeps.
The ‘callers’ Selcall will be returned
to the caller.
Call acknowledge signal
When your TX6200 receives its own
Selcall Ident, it automatically responds
by transmitting an ‘acknowledge’ signal
back to the caller. This informs the caller
that their Selcall transmission has been
successful and that your radio is alerting
you to their call. The ‘acknowledge’
signal is heard at the caller’s end as two
quick beeps.
QUIET MODE
The QUIET mode mutes the TX6200’s
receiver to prevent any incoming signals
from being heard in the speaker until your
Selcall Ident is received. In this way you
can monitor a busy channel for personal
calls without being disturbed by
unwanted signals.
If your Selcall Ident is received, the QUIET
mode is then cancelled and all incoming
signals are heard in the speaker.
Setting up the quiet mode
To setup the QUIET mode you must first
‘tag’ the channels that you want to stay
Quiet, then activate the QUIET mode.
Once the QUIET mode is activated, the
channels you have tagged will remain
Quiet to all incoming signals unless your
Selcall Ident is received. Channels not
tagged will remain open to all signals
and will operate normally.
To tag individual channels
for QUIET operation
1. Select the required channel using the
or Channel keys.
2. Press and HOLD the QUIET key until
a high beep is heard. ‘Q’ will appear
to the right of the channel display
indicating the selected channel is now
tagged for Quiet operation.
To remove the QUIET Tag from
Individual Channels:
1. Select a channel that has been tagged
for Quiet operation. ‘Q’ will be displayed.
